At Cotulla I
Texas, Dec. 26, 1925.
Record:
- I notice in the Record where .Santa
Claus brought to La Salle County
Water Improvement District No. 1, a
big present. At Austin the State
Board of Water Engineers issued a
permit for the District to use annual-
ly from the Nueces River .r,20.000
acre feet of Water to irrigate 104.000
acres of land. That is indeed a big
p-osont and I hope the big irrigation
project, and I am almost satisfied
v ill give perfect satisfaction and
will undoubtedly be a blessing to the
town of Cotulla and the surrounding
country, but still I have my doubts
about it. You see for instance some
day when some of us farmers down
on the lower end of the canal are
right busy irrigating and here would
come dashing along at full speed one
of Cartwright's great big old Quad-
rupeds chased by Charlie Wesson
and crowded pretty bad would at-
tempt to jump across the '■anal
stumble over some object in Its path,
turn a complete somersaurt and
plunge right square down in the canal
with all its four feet sticking upward
what in the world would we do then ?
I guess Judge Willson would fall in
right here and say, well, -hat old
steer could be lifted out easy enough.
That sounds pretty good but I would
like to see the Judge do it.

Mrs. J. R. Bell entertained with a
“Come Stay All Day” party on New

This delightful invitation was ex-

The day was cold and dark and
Warren-Porter.
Christmas week in Cotulla, was
quite prolfic in weddings. This is
the third wedding reported, that oc-
curred between Christmas Eve and
New Year’s Eve.
Many of the friends of Mrs. Juan-
ita Warren and Mr. John L. Porter.
Jr., seemed surprised when they
heard that this popular couple were
married New Y'ear’s evening.
About dusk Nqw Year's evening
the Rev. Mr. Carver read the lines
that united the lives of the happy
pair. We understand that they
went unattended to the Baptist Par-
sonage in this city, where the cere-
mony was performed.
The bride has resided in Cotuila
several years where she has made
many friends, who speak of her in
terms of high regard and esteem.
The groom is the son of Mr. and

I all of a sudden they were hailed by a
big policeman, who approached the
car when they drove past a red light.
C. F. was driving and before he
could answer, the policeman asked
where they were from. Sheriff
Poole spoke up. replying that “lie was
from Cotulla,” that he couldn't an-
swer for the driver. “Weil, he
must be from Seguin,” said the
policeman—“they all act alike.”

of this sad quotation, for Christmas
colors, bright lights, warm fires and
the cheery gay hospitality of thc

the guests put the quotation behind
